Folks After giving this talk at Boyd's Mountain, Wayneville, where the host Besty Boyd gave me her husband's family tree. The following day I was at Knoxville, TN and was looking at a Buncombe Co., NC book which gave me their family which starts with a James Boyd who came from County Tyrone, Ireland. This is a county where quite a number of Boyd families settled. I have yet to even look at the papers that I collected during my trip to see that I have the "right" family, but Betsy if you have joined this list, it will be a week or so before I get to that task to give you the title of this book on Buncombe co., NC history.
